Da er vi kommet til den siste dagen i 2012 og det er på tide å få med resten av årets håndarbeider.
Jammen ble det enda en veske :) Den var julegave så den måtte vente med å bli vist fram.We have come to the last day of the year 2012 and I will show the rest of the crafts for this year. I made one more bag, which was for a Christmasgift so I had to wait to show it.

Like før jul ble jeg også ferdig med et par sokker til meg selv. De er med i Projos strikketreffkonkurranse. Mønsteret er fra Drops design og jeg har strikket dem med Drops Delight. Det var restegarn etter et deilig teppe jeg strikket for drøyt et år siden. Så nå har jeg sokker som matcher teppet :)Just before Christmas I finished a pair of socks for myself. They are one of the projects of the Projo knitting competition. I have knitted them with Drops Delight and the pattern is from Drops Design. The yarn was left overs from a wonderful blanket I knitted more than a year ago. So now I have socks that are matching my blanket :)

This years last project is not finished yet. It is the last pair of socks in the Projo knitting competition. I should probably hurry to knit tonight, because 1. January starts a new mitten knit along at the Projo. Then I want to start on those mittens as fast as possible :) I promise myself every year that I will not sign up for a new knitalong, but it does not help ...... It's so much fun, although a really have a long list of projects, I would like to start!
Da gjenstår det bare å takke alle bloggvenner for koselige kommentarer og kontakt i 2012, og med ønske om et godt nytt år 2013, både på håndarbeidsfronten og i alt som skjer. Utpå nyåret vil det bli en give away hos meg, så følg med!Then it is time for saying thank you to all my blogfriends for contact in 2012, and with a wish for a happy new year 2013, both for crafting and all that happens. There will soon be a give away on my blog so look out!

Da var endelig adventskalenderen med 24 små votter ferdig! Jeg begynte på den i januar så jeg skulle få den ferdig til desember. Det var bare de to siste vottene som manglet, men de ble altså ikke ferdige før i dag!At last the advent calendar with 24 little mittens are finished! I started it in January so I should get it finished until December. It was only the last two mittens that were missing, but they were not completed until today!

Og alle 24 vottene er forskjellige på baksiden! Det er Dalegarn som har laget mønsteret, jeg fant det i Familien. Hver vott er bare 11cm. And all the 24 mittens are different on the back! Dalegarn has made the pattern . Each mitten is only 11cm.

It is not so much finished work to show off in these busy times of advent. So it's nice to be able to show many fine knitwear that ladies from the Tune Bygdekvinnelag's knitting cafe' has on an exhibition at Tune Library. There are also some of my works in between there. Some items are for sale and some are just for show.

One of the pleasures of blogging is the opportunity to participate in the giveaways and blog lotteries around on the different blogs. There are many generous bloggers. And now I've been lucky to win at Komadyret! A nice package of sock yarn and bamboo knitting needle came in the mail. Thank you Komadyret! Visit her blog, it is a very nice blog!

En liten tur innom Panduro ble det også tid til. It was also time for little visit at the Panduro shop in town.

I morgen er det 1.desember og søndag er første søndag i advent. Stua er pynta og klar til advent.Tomorrow is December 1 and Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. The living room is dressed and ready for Advent.

Jeg har nå strikket ferdig vottene som er med i konkurransen for de som er påmeldt til Projos Strikketreff 2013. Disse heter Winter Comfort og er strikket i herrestørrelse.De er fra Drops design. Jeg har brukt Safirgarn og pinner 3,5. Jeg syns de ble litt smale, men dagens menn har kanskje ikke så kraftige arbeidsnever lengre? I have finished the mittens that are a part of the competition for those who are participating in the Projo's Knitting gathering 2013. These are called Winter Comfort and knitted men's size. I've used Safir Yarn and needles 3.5. I think they were a little narrow, but today's men may not have large working hands anymore?

Og det siste votteparet i konkurransen er Lavender Love fra Drops design. De er strikket i Drops Andes på pinner 8. Da gjenstår to sjal og to par sokker til konkurransen. And the last pair of mittens for the competition is Lavender Love from Drops Design. They are knitted with Drops Andes on needles 8. Now I have left to knit two shawls and two pair of socks for the competition.

Og da var den niende Mathildes sommerveske etter mønster fra AnnAKa s design, ferdig. Og tenk, den skal jeg ha selv! Da har jeg sydd 6 slike vesker siden august. Jeg har planer om to til, men det blir ikke før på nyåret. Nå har jeg levert symaskinen inn til service, så nå har jeg sypause enten jeg vil eller ikke :) And then was the ninth Mathilde summer bag from AnnAKa s pattern, finished. And can you believe it, this one I will have myself! Now I have made ​​six such bags since August. I have plans for two more, but it will not be until next year. Now I have delivered the sewing machine in for service, so now I can't sew, even if I wanted to :)

This shawl has been on the needles long, it was boring to knit so it took a while. It's called Caress and is from Drops design. It is knitted with Drops Alpaca on needles 3,5.

To nye vesker har også sett dagens lys. Nok en gang er det AnnAKas Mathildes sommerveske. Den ene med grå/sorte farger. Two new bags have also been made. Once more the pattern "Mathilde's sommerbag" from AnnAKa. The first is with gray/black colors .

Den andre med brune stoffer. Jeg har en halvferdig liggende, men når den er sydd tror jeg det blir en pause. Og ingen av veskene er helt like, selv om det er brukt samme stoffer er de satt sammen på litt forskjellige måter. Så hver veske er unik! Med den halvferdige tror jeg det blir 9 slike vesker jeg har sydd! På tide å prøve et nytt mønster, kanskje? The second with brown colors. I have one more half finished, but when that is made I think I will take a break :) No one of the bags are alike, even if I have used same fabrics they are put together different. Each bag is unique! With the half finished I think I have made 9 of these bags now! Maybe it is time to try a new pattern?

Det har ikke passet så mange ganger for meg å være med på den gruppa, men det har vært mange andre flittige damer som har stått på. Her er noe av det de har laget. Først litt lilla til advent. It did not fit so many times for me to be part of the group, but there have been many other diligent women who have been working hard. Here is some of what they have created. First, a little purple to Advent

Here we could also play with boats. As soon as I had learned to swim, I was allowed to row alone in the bay, but with swimming belt of cork, that time's lifejacket. I and my friend were rowing each our flat-bottomed rowboat.

We rowed much across to the Vabua and played that different places were ports from the whole world, we were the children of sailors! Here I am rowing with brother Torjus and kitty!

Min vandring går videre via innerst i bukta. My walk continues through the innermost part of the bay.

Og ut på Vabua. And to Vabua.

Her er en av de mange havnene våre! Here is one of our ports!

Disse steinene har jeg tråkket mye på! On these stones have I walked a lot!

Videre over det flate platået og opp på neste topp. Further over the flat plateau and up the next top.

Og til slutt ut på Vabupynten. Derfra kan vi se ut på havet.

And finally on the point of Vabua. From there we can look to the ocean.

Dette var bare noen små glimt av alle de gode minnene fra barndommen i Bastvika. Jeg tror jeg må skrive en hel bok! Takk Bastvika for alt du har gitt oss, du vil alltid leve videre i hjertene våre! This was just a small glimpse of all the great memories from childhood in Bastvika. I think I have to write a whole book! Thank you Bastvika for all you have given us, you will always live in our hearts!
